This Ariel design was used. I think Floro meant that her character was rebuilt as Elita 1 by Alpha Trion on the show.

A little about his processes: someone asked why his designs sometimes feature a copy with exposed internal parts, to which Floro answered:

Style. Besides, it's practical to start from something that's complicated and then simplify it.

Gorgeous prismas and watercolors. Has a Moebius (RIP) style to it, bordering on fine art. Dig that exposed gadgetry for Ariel. Not too invasive but I can see why an artist wouldn't want to render for any project requiring sequential art.

Wow, it would be amazing to have some of the scenery artwork framed. I'd love to have some of those hanging on my wall. It's a shame that the Etsy shop only has a Unicron print

A truck-load of Floro Dery artwork from his blog and his Etsy "FDartstudio" account (many of these are no longer available from there but were mirrored prior to their being sold). All of this is mostly from season 2 and season 3 of the G1 cartoon, the G1 movie, and some early/unused concepts from either:

Decepticon Hall of Heroes, shown in BG are the Earth's moon and the severed head of Unicron.

First version of Junkion spaceship, in BG is Cybertron.

Temporary Decepticon base, in BG is Cybertron and two of its five moons.
From the episode "Enter the Nightbird"

Shown on the left side is the Decepticon Forest Base; on the right side is the Decepticon tower on Cybertron, in BG are three of the five moons of Cybertron.
First is from "Make Tracks", and I'm not sure which episode the tower is from.

Decepticon lunar dome base.
From "Blaster Blues"

On the left side is Cybertron and its robot mode.The city of Lithone, in BG is Unicron, is on the right side.
First is from the discarded early draft of the G1 movie called "The Secret of Cybertron"; the second is from the final version of said movie.

Early version of Autobot City, from when the name "Fortress Maximus" was originally going to refer to said city instead of being the name of the big Headmaster Citybot.

The first version of Fortress Maximus, shown above, transforms to Autobot City, shown below.
